I have to say this film is amazingly funny and the mother and aunt are just adorable as they search to find the perfect mate for he son. This is a must have for any gay film collection the premise is hag friendly too without much man on man action but definitely worth a view this film has just replaced Another Gay Movie as my #1 pick for a great gay film.
If you like this you might want to check out "Relax it's Just Sex"

......think I just dated myself. I meant to say: What a "BLAST!" What's that you're saying....I'm still talk'n like an old guy. Okay,
okay...just whisper it to me. Ah...now I get it: What a "KICK-ASS!" pair these two ladies are.

And I obviously agree with you. This Mom and this Aunt are all those Capital letters, above....rolled up together (and even more so, aren't they). What Gay youngster, having been thrown out on the streets of this world, wouldn't give for a mother and father, or any family member, like either Momma Mae or Auntie Rose? (They really deserve at least a half-Star, extra)

Since you've probably already seen other reviews / comments outlining this story, let me only add that it is, basically, just the tale of a
Gay young man, afraid to Come Out to the family. Yet, what makes this one pretty special is the verve.....the life.....the acceptance that
just pours off the screen, and out over us, from these two marvelous ladies.

Oh, and are there ANY bases not covered by first-time, feature length Director, Keith Hartman? Hmm...let's see now....I recall that they include:

1 - Loss of the long-time boyfriend (don't worry...he doesn't die).

2 - Discovery by family of someone's "abnormal" sexual orientation (a Big 6 on the Kinsey Scale).

3 - Struggle over Acceptance.

4 - Search for a suitable replacement, needed due to Item 1, above. (Doesn't hurt that he's a gorgeously hunky go-go dancer, wearing tight
briefs)

5 - Attempt by "Kinsey 6" at a Heterosexual lifestyle.

6 - Consideration of enrollment in a Gay Conversion Therapy program.

7 - Time spent in cleaning up all the Holy Mess....created by Items 1
thru 6.

8 - THE END

PS--(It's a lot of Fun + Laughs----You'll enjoy it)

Over the top acting, the occasional message, and lots of love along the way. This movie won't reinvent cinema. But it will give you and your friends 1-1/2 hours of laughs.

This fun film includes plenty of gay cliches, but does it with wit and energy throughout. I saw this at a festival last year and pre-ordered a copy directly from the director that same day(sorry TLA - I'll spend more soon...).

Are you gonna solve the problems of the GDP watching 'You Should Meet My Son!'? Um, no - but you will see a naked portrait of the man who messed it up last decade!

Considering where this film could have gone, I was happy that it sidestepped the worst of the hysteria of the 'Mom, I'm GAY!' film sub-genre and had its matriarch character deal with the news in a natural, loving and humorous way (the DVD cover art will make sense about 2/3rds of the way through the movie). For not being a total cliche, the film deserves some points.

By the end of the film, its farcical nature gets a bit out of hand (including said naked portrait) but any film with an exclamation point in the title pretty much says it all when it comes to its tone. You could do much worse than this fluffy comedy.
